Ths high cost of living bas been blamed upon man Interests but seemingly every one has forgottsn one Interest that had much to do with the elevation of prices. Tha railroads by their failure to furnish cars, boosted the price of potatoes in - the big; city consuming centers even beyond the extreme price basis that farmers are getting. Ths man who bad a carload of potatoes "in one of the big cities was to be envied. For instance a certain California sweet potato shipper was asking t a cental for a carload of pot A toes white hundreds of cars could be purchased at ll.SS. Tha tact that he had the car to ship the stock created for him bigger profits. Many speculators made the mistake of their lives in buying potatoes -instead of investing In cars. Paying Homage to a Xiag. Europe is paying homage to Its kings, emperors and czar with the cost of millions of lives, but Spokane Is planning to do homage to a king that will not only not cost any lives, but will save many if the plan Is general ly carried out. Spokane will honor King - Apple at the national show on November 20 and members of the apple family will be in attendsncs in such abundance that few people real lrt. It has been said that "An apple a day keeps the doctor away," and Spo kane Is trying to persuade everyone to get that apple. Trades Timber Z.aads. L. H.
